What is an Intravitreal Injection?

An intravitreal injection involves administering medication directly into the vitreous, the gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye. This targeted approach allows the medication to reach the retina more effectively than oral or topical treatments, making it one of the most efficient ways to treat certain eye conditions.

By delivering medication directly to the back of the eye, intravitreal injections can help slow or stop the progression of serious diseases that could otherwise lead to vision loss or blindness.

How is an Intravitreal Injection Administered?

At Move and Shine, we ensure that the intravitreal injection procedure is performed in a sterile, controlled environment, prioritizing patient comfort and safety. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how the treatment is administered:

Preparation – The eye specialist will first apply numbing eye drops to ensure that the procedure is as painless as possible. The area around the eye will be cleaned to maintain sterility.

Injection – Once the eye is numb, the specialist uses a fine needle to inject the medication into the vitreous cavity. The injection is performed with precision and takes only a few moments.

Post-Procedure – After the injection, patients are monitored for a short period to ensure there are no immediate complications. Most patients can go home within 3-4 hours, making it a quick and convenient day-care procedure.

At Move and Shine, we are known for delivering intravitreal injection treatments in the most cost-effective and hygienic manner, ensuring that every patient receives the best care without compromising on quality or safety.

Conditions Treated with Intravitreal Injections

Intravitreal injections are used to treat a variety of eye conditions, particularly those that affect the retina and macula. Some of the most common conditions treated with this therapy include:

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – One of the leading causes of vision loss in older adults, AMD affects the central portion of the retina, leading to blurry or distorted vision. Intravitreal injections help slow the progression of wet AMD by reducing the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina.

Diabetic Retinopathy – This condition occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems. Intravitreal injections are used to reduce swelling, inflammation, and abnormal blood vessel growth associated with diabetic retinopathy.

Retinal Vein Occlusion – Blockages in the retinal veins can cause fluid leakage and swelling in the retina, leading to vision loss. Intravitreal injections help reduce swelling and improve visual outcomes.

Uveitis – This inflammatory condition affects the middle layer of the eye and can lead to severe complications if left untreated. Intravitreal injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area, helping to control the inflammation.

Macular Edema – Swelling of the macula, which is responsible for sharp central vision, can occur due to various conditions like diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion. Intravitreal injections help reduce this swelling and restore visual clarity.

Endophthalmitis – This is a severe infection inside the eye that can occur after surgery or an eye injury. Intravitreal injections containing antibiotics or antifungal medications are crucial in treating this sight-threatening condition
